Dynamical geography and transition paths of Sargassum in the tropical Atlantic
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, N. Putman +3
By analyzing a time-homogeneous Markov chain constructed using trajectories of undrogued drifting buoys from the NOAA's Global Drifter Program, we find that probability density can…
Carriers of \emph{Sargassum} and mechanism for coastal inundation in the Caribbean Sea
F. Andrade-Canto, F. J. Beron-Vera, G. J. Goni +3
We identify effective carriers of \emph{Sargassum} in the Caribbean Sea and describe a mechanism for coastal choking. Revealed from satellite altimetry, the carriers of \emph{Sarga…
Clustering of marine-debris- and \emph{Sargassum}-like drifters explained by inertial particle dynamics}
P. Miron, M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera +4
Drifters designed to mimic floating marine debris and small patches of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} were satellite tracked in four regions across the North Atlantic. Though subjected t…
Observation and quantification of inertial effects on the drift of floating objects at the ocean surface
M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera, P. Miron +4
We present results from an experiment designed to better understand the mechanism by which ocean currents and winds control flotsam drift. The experiment consisted in deploying in…
Characterizing the energetics of multi-scale asymmetries during tropical cyclone rapid intensity changes
Saiprasanth Bhalachandran, D. R. Chavas, F. D. Marks +3
Our collective understanding of azimuthally-asymmetric features within the coherent structure of a tropical cyclone (TC) continues to improve with the availability of more detailed…
Inertia-induced accumulation of flotsam in the subtropical gyres
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga, Rick Lumpkin
Recent surveys of marine plastic debris density have revealed high levels in the center of the subtropical gyres. Earlier studies have argued that the formation of great garbage pa…
Dissipative inertial transport patterns near coherent Lagrangian eddies in the ocean
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, G. Haller +3
Recent developments in dynamical systems theory have revealed long-lived and coherent Lagrangian (i.e., material) eddies in incompressible, satellite-derived surface ocean velocity…
